UAW Strikes Chrysler Technology Center: About 850 salaried workers at the Auburn Hills, Mich., center went on strike, said David Corliss, secretary-treasurer of United Auto Workers Local 412. The unit represents primarily designers, analysts and clay modelers. Talks between that unit and Chrysler have been suspended, he said. A second bargaining unit representing more than 400 workers reached a tentative agreement on a contract just before the strike deadline, he said. That group includes maintenance workers, skilled trades workers and builders of wood, metal and plastic prototype models.
